This is seems to be an issue with the precompiled *.c files being used instead of running cython over *.pyx. Here is a workaround:

git clone https://github.com/rkern/line_profiler.git
find line_profiler -name '*.pyx' -exec cython {} \;
cd line_profiler && pip install . --user 

[YuMan-Tam]

I encountered exactly the same problem. The solution works perfectly. Thank you!

[matrixise]

+1 for the fix, could you fix this issue. thank you

[Finistere]

Pandas and others had the same issue pandas-dev/pandas#21785. Could you please make a new release with the latest Cython ?

[doanguyen]

The issue has been here for months but no patch yet, is someone going to put it on pypi?

[kfrncs]

Also had this issue, also fixed by @tazzaoui 's comment. Thanks.

[balodja]

Same issue here. Thanks for the workaround.

[erezaei]

What if I don't have it?

[boeddeker]

For me, a direct install from github was also working: pip install git+https://github.com/rkern/line_profiler When Cython is installed, this should work, otherwise, the following may cause problems:

https://github.com/rkern/line_profiler/blob/3cdc2fab6793802d31130b1af2705bddebf6f7fd/setup.py#L12-L25

[chuaxr]

I was using Ubuntu installed on windows and also needed to install gcc (via sudo apt install gcc) before the pip install git+.
